Hi,

I disagree on the colour. Not because of the colour-blindness argument, but rather that we are writing technical documentation here. How appealing it looks is rather less important to me. It is more important to deliver the information and present it in a way that it is accessible to as many people as possible and there is no room for misinterpretation.

Visually I find the big table more appealing as well.

On the pictogram thing. What about using unicode characters for this?

We could rate the boards with stars? ★ to ★★★★★?

How about that?
